Gitlab pipeline - checkupdate stage failed
You should add a new entry in "Builds". Have a look at how Newpipe does it for each new version here for example.

Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
To me it's not very clear whether those terms practically apply only to their app, since clearly they can't grab logs from Aurora if Aurora doesn't dump those logs for example... but if this is something the F-Droid team should look into, open an issue on https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues or inquire in one of their official channels on OFTC (#fdroid) or Matrix (#fdroid:f-droid.org).
- Amethyst (nostr client) is not FOSS

difference between the various Osmand versions - and f-droid
OsmAnd~ from F-Droid not having Android Auto is a known bug: see the discussions at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2567 , https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/13514, https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/3391 and https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/15400

How to discover new FOSS apps?
You can also get F-Droid Build Status which I believe will let you see apps that are being attempted to be built even if their build isn't succeeding yet, again for the "catching things early experience". Or, just keep an eye on the issues, merge requests and commits at fdroiddata which is where people actually add new metadata for new apps to be built by F-Droid, and it often takes a while between an app being first mentioned, and it being able to be included, for many possible reasons.

How do I add the dns over https server to the "private dns" on android?
Yes the standard mode is a VPN. The app also offers a non-vpn mode that works best if you are root. Alternatively, you can piggy back it with a firewall app, but those will use the VPN api too. I have not tested it in that mode. FAQ
-
Is there an app that blocks Facebook and alike without a VPN slot/root?
https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo can run in proxy (localhost) mode.

AdGuard vs Blokada (non root user)
DNS66, unfortunately, leaks DNS over TCP (which many spyware SDKs like InMobi / Gamooga use) and (iirc) it also lacks encryption which apps like personalDNSFilter, Nebulo implement.
- 58% of Hacker News, Reddit and tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
-
Any app connection scanners for Android?
Blokada remains a credible adblocker, but it isn't water tight, nor do I (and others I have spoken to, like the developers of Nebulo, personalDNSFilter, and DNS66) get the feeling the developers really get digital security or privacy.
-
Do you trust NextDNS?
Or nebulo for android, quad9, then blocklist.

-
Is Blokada effective? Any issues I should know about?
Blokada is pretty decent at what it does, but there absolutely are better alternatives, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is one.
-
Adguard is amazing for adblocking on non-rooted android phones
For the above reasons, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is a better app, privacy wise. It doesn't do any of the above.
